> Of course not - just use RSS 1.0 until Atom is ready and steer clear of > quasi-proprietary toy specs ;-) It's a really bad idea to ask this question to people who have egos wrapped up in pushing their own pet specs. Ask for customers and customer testimonials instead. RSS 2.0 is being used by New York Times, Microsoft, and many other "real" organizations to provide feeds to the masses. It's the safest choice, IMO. One thing to be aware of if using RSS 1.0 is that most people don't use clients which actually support RDF (the underlying format) and "muddle along" to parse RSS 1.0 feeds. This means that the clients will die on things that might be perfectly legitimate RSS 1.0/RDF, so the only way to ensure interop is to test your feed with every client rather than rely on the RDF specs. -J
